-Hey, DW! -Hey... | 0:00:59 | 0:01:03 | |
By the authority vested in me, I, Theodore Roosevelt, | 0:01:07 | 0:01:11 | |
the 26th President of the US, in the year of our Lord 1903, | 0:01:11 | 0:01:17 | |
-with the approval of the committee on towns and cities... -The good bit! | 0:01:17 | 0:01:23 | |
..Do hereby declare declare the area known as Elwood | 0:01:23 | 0:01:28 | |
an official city! | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
It was Elmwood I wrote on the application! | 0:01:33 | 0:01:37 | |
For taking 50 acres of swamp and turning it into a thriving town, | 0:01:37 | 0:01:43 | |
your good friends JP Morgan and Henry Ford | 0:01:43 | 0:01:47 | |
have donated this statue of you, our founder, | 0:01:47 | 0:01:51 | |
Jacob Katzenelenbogan! | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
Who's that supposed to be? My name has two Ls in it! | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
Why did you make me so fat? | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
Tear it down! | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
How do you like that, JB? | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
Jacob founded a city before us! | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
In 100 years, Henry, | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
-no-one will know a place called Elwood City ever existed! -Skinflints! | 0:02:11 | 0:02:17 | |
Yee-hah! | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
Exciting news, class! | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
Elwood City is celebrating its centennial in three weeks. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:30 | |
We have been chosen out of 15 schools to stage a musical! | 0:02:30 | 0:02:35 | |
Yeah! | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
We won! We won! We... | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
Wait! Is there a test at the end? | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
No, just a big performance. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
All right! We're doing a musical! Yeah! | 0:02:46 | 0:02:50 | |
Doing a show isn't easy, Buster! | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
I remember my Hamlet with puppets at college. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:57 | |
To be or not to be - | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
that is... | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
..the end of the show! Good night! | 0:03:02 | 0:03:06 | |
Curtain! Curtain! | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
That performance nearly cost me my perfect GPA. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:15 | |
So, we're all going to have to be very focused. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
I've written down all the tasks and put them in this hat. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:23 | |
You'll choose your role at random! | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
Come on! Something good! | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
Narrator? That doesn't sound very important. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
On the contrary, a singing narrator will hold this story together. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:37 | |
-It's a very big role. -Cool! | 0:03:37 | 0:03:41 | |
Chorus member? I'm the best singer in the whole class! | 0:03:41 | 0:03:45 | |
-It's a small part! -There are no small parts - only small actors! | 0:03:45 | 0:03:51 | |
Writer! Finally, a chance to write an accurate historical musical! | 0:03:51 | 0:03:57 | |
Dr Ector? Is he the villain? Can I wear a claw? | 0:03:59 | 0:04:05 | |
That says director, Buster! | 0:04:05 | 0:04:08 | |
Oh... Oh! I get to decide how everything looks and tell everyone what to do? | 0:04:08 | 0:04:14 | |
Er...sort of... | 0:04:14 | 0:04:16 | |
Woo-hoo! This is going to be the weirdest musical ever! | 0:04:16 | 0:04:21 | |
Mwah! | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
You can wear a claw in the chorus! | 0:04:23 | 0:04:27 | |
Mr Ratburn? I was wondering if I could help with the publicity. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:33 | |
Making posters - stuff like that? | 0:04:33 | 0:04:36 | |
I could use some help with that. All right. Thank you. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:40 | |
Great! If you could just sign this, we're all set. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:44 | |
It's a standard producer's contract, in case the musical goes on tour. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:49 | |
I think it'll be good, but I don't know if it'll be that good. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:54 | |
One word for you, Brain! Alien invasion! | 0:04:56 | 0:05:01 | |
The curtain rises and a giant flying saucer lands on the stage! | 0:05:01 | 0:05:05 | |
WHIRRING | 0:05:05 | 0:05:09 | |
Hundreds of aliens come out. They take over the Earth! | 0:05:09 | 0:05:13 | |
One kid becomes friends with them... | 0:05:13 | 0:05:16 | |
No aliens in my script! Why not? | 0:05:16 | 0:05:20 | |
Because it's a historical musical! | 0:05:20 | 0:05:23 | |
We have to show events that really happened. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:26 | |
But I did find some exciting things. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:29 | |
Did you know that most of Elwood City used to be swampland | 0:05:29 | 0:05:34 | |
filled with grebes? What are grebes? | 0:05:34 | 0:05:37 | |
Marshland birds - Podicipedidae. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:40 | |
You're putting that in?! Sure. Why not? | 0:05:40 | 0:05:44 | |
Because it's boring! No, it isn't! | 0:05:44 | 0:05:48 | |
At least it's not some fantasy! | 0:05:48 | 0:05:50 | |
People love fantasy! | 0:05:50 | 0:05:54 | |
They deserve accuracy! Fantasy! Accuracy! | 0:05:54 | 0:05:58 | |
-FAIRLY OUT-OF-TUNE SCALE: -# La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la | 0:05:59 | 0:06:03 | |
# La-la-la-la-la-la... # | 0:06:03 | 0:06:06 | |
Good effort, but the narrator has to be pitch perfect. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:10 | |
Let's try A again. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:12 | |
# La-a-a-a... # | 0:06:13 | 0:06:15 | |
A little higher, Arthur... Now lower... | 0:06:15 | 0:06:19 | |
Excuse me, Ms Krasny, can I show him? | 0:06:19 | 0:06:23 | |
-IN TUNE: -# La! # | 0:06:23 | 0:06:26 | |
-Like that, Arthur. -Thanks a lot! | 0:06:27 | 0:06:30 | |
NOT-VERY-TUNEFUL SCALE | 0:06:30 | 0:06:33 | |
I haven't heard such a horrible sound | 0:06:33 | 0:06:37 | |
since I gave the neighbour's cat a bath! | 0:06:37 | 0:06:41 | |
It's like my Merry Moo Cow doll! | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
I bet I can sing worse! | 0:06:44 | 0:06:47 | |
-# La-la-la-la-la-la... # -No, I can't! | 0:06:47 | 0:06:51 | |
# La-la-la-la-la-la... # | 0:06:51 | 0:06:53 | |
DOORBELL | 0:06:53 | 0:06:55 | |
Let me guess - I stink and you should really be the narrator! | 0:06:56 | 0:07:01 | |
I'm here to help, but if that's how you're going to... | 0:07:01 | 0:07:05 | |
Wait! Sorry, Francine! Come on in. I need all the help I can get! | 0:07:05 | 0:07:10 | |
-NOT VERY IN TUNE: -# La-la-la-la-la-la... # | 0:07:23 | 0:07:27 | |
-IN TUNE: -# La-la-la-la-la-la... # | 0:07:28 | 0:07:32 | |
-STILL NOT VERY IN TUNE: -# The trees were chopped down | 0:07:49 | 0:07:53 | |
# For the bustling new town | 0:07:53 | 0:07:57 | |
# By the women and men employed By Mr Katzenellenbogan! # | 0:07:57 | 0:08:01 | |
-OK. You're not projecting enough. -I'm singing at the top of my lungs! | 0:08:01 | 0:08:06 | |
You're singing from your throat! It should come from your diaphragm. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:11 | |
Don't! You'll embarrass me! | 0:08:11 | 0:08:13 | |
You're not chopping on the beat! | 0:08:13 | 0:08:16 | |
It's one and two... | 0:08:16 | 0:08:19 | |
and three! Pinky, not again! | 0:08:19 | 0:08:23 | |
They take for ever to sew! They're too tight! | 0:08:23 | 0:08:28 | |
Why did you say you were a medium? | 0:08:28 | 0:08:31 | |
I am a medium! My chinos are mediums... What is that? | 0:08:31 | 0:08:35 | |
Humungotron! I said no aliens! | 0:08:35 | 0:08:39 | |
He's not an alien! He saves Elwood City from the giant crab people! | 0:08:39 | 0:08:44 | |
You didn't say anything about that! | 0:08:44 | 0:08:47 | |
All right! Settle down! Class! | 0:08:47 | 0:08:50 | |
-I said settle down... -Mr Ratburn? | 0:08:50 | 0:08:53 | |
Can you check the guest list for the opening-night party? | 0:08:53 | 0:08:57 | |
You can't invite Mr Rogers! | 0:09:01 | 0:09:03 | |
-I already did! He's so sweet! -But we open in one week! | 0:09:03 | 0:09:09 | |
Do you want Mr Rogers to see this? | 0:09:09 | 0:09:12 | |
Curtain! Curtain! | 0:09:22 | 0:09:25 | |
It could happen all over again! | 0:09:25 | 0:09:29 | |
They'll pull together. They just need a little pep talk! May I? | 0:09:29 | 0:09:34 | |
We were chosen out of 15 schools to put on this show! | 0:09:36 | 0:09:41 | |
Maybe they were wrong to pick us! | 0:09:41 | 0:09:43 | |
Maybe they should have picked Mighty Mountain or Glenbrook. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:48 | |
Would they be arguing? No! | 0:09:48 | 0:09:51 | |
They'd be working together - | 0:09:51 | 0:09:53 | |
something we can't seem to do! | 0:09:53 | 0:09:56 | |
I did read there was an alien sighting here in 1952. | 0:09:56 | 0:10:01 | |
Probably a weather balloon, but... | 0:10:01 | 0:10:04 | |
Thank you! Let's take it from the top! | 0:10:04 | 0:10:08 | |
That should hold them till opening night. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:14 | |
Then we'll need luck and all the candy we can get our hands on! | 0:10:14 | 0:10:19 | |
You still have a week, Arthur. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:22 | |
Even if I had a year, I just can't sing! | 0:10:22 | 0:10:25 | |
Well, I mean, I can sing... but not like you. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:30 | |
-Francine, would you like to be the narrator? -Me? | 0:10:30 | 0:10:34 | |
It'd be a much better show. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
I'd like to be in the chorus. You get to have plastic axes. Please! | 0:10:37 | 0:10:43 | |
Is this what you really want? | 0:10:43 | 0:10:46 | |
Well...OK. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:49 | |
-Thanks, Francine, you're a really great friend! -Yes! | 0:10:49 | 0:10:54 | |
Dad! Come on! We're already late! | 0:10:56 | 0:10:59 | |
I'm just getting directions to Georgia's house. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:03 | |
TUNING-UP | 0:11:10 | 0:11:12 | |
Why all the photographers? | 0:11:12 | 0:11:15 | |
-For Art Garfunkel. -Art Garfunkel is coming? | 0:11:15 | 0:11:19 | |
No, he's already here! | 0:11:19 | 0:11:21 | |
I want emotion out there! | 0:11:25 | 0:11:28 | |
You're not just playing a grebe - you ARE a grebe! | 0:11:28 | 0:11:33 | |
Grebe! Grebe! | 0:11:33 | 0:11:35 | |
Where's my flying saucer? | 0:11:35 | 0:11:37 | |
Mr Franski's bringing it in his garbage truck. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:41 | |
It was too heavy for Georgia's car. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:44 | |
-Can't you go any faster? -Francine, I'm driving the speed limit. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:53 | |
We're already 15 minutes late. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:55 | |
-DUCK! -What? | 0:11:55 | 0:11:58 | |
You OK? CRASH! | 0:12:01 | 0:12:03 | |
-What's that sound? -BOTH: The flying saucer! | 0:12:03 | 0:12:08 | |
Buster's gonna kill me! | 0:12:09 | 0:12:12 | |
It's just a prop, sport! | 0:12:12 | 0:12:14 | |
Come on! We'll think of something. Let's get there! | 0:12:14 | 0:12:18 | |
Could this night get any worse? | 0:12:18 | 0:12:21 | |
ENGINE TURNS OVER AND STOPS | 0:12:21 | 0:12:24 | |
Er...Frankie! | 0:12:24 | 0:12:26 | |
We have a problem! | 0:12:26 | 0:12:29 | |
You sure this is the right place? | 0:12:31 | 0:12:34 | |
Nothing's happening. Relax. Shows always start late. Not this late! | 0:12:34 | 0:12:41 | |
Still no sign of Francine! We've got to do something. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:46 | |
-Arthur, you have to be the narrator! -Me? Why me? | 0:12:46 | 0:12:50 | |
You know it - you only traded parts with Francine last week! | 0:12:50 | 0:12:55 | |
-I can't sing. -The narrator doesn't sing in the first number. | 0:12:55 | 0:13:00 | |
-By the end, Francine will be here! -I don't have my bow tie! | 0:13:00 | 0:13:05 | |
-Or suspenders! -Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. | 0:13:05 | 0:13:09 | |
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to Oh Elwood! | 0:13:15 | 0:13:21 | |
We request that you refrain from using flash photography, | 0:13:21 | 0:13:25 | |
turn off cellphones and unwrap candy or lozenges now. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:30 | |
Thank you. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:34 | |
-APPLAUSE -Howdy! | 0:13:34 | 0:13:36 | |
-Hi, Arthur! -DW! Shh! | 0:13:36 | 0:13:39 | |
Howdy! This here's a story about a place you all know | 0:13:39 | 0:13:43 | |
called Elwood City. | 0:13:43 | 0:13:46 | |
But what you may not know is it wasn't always a city. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:51 | |
-Once, it was just miles and miles of trees. -MUSIC STARTS | 0:13:51 | 0:13:55 | |
# The valley all around us Was nothing but wood | 0:13:55 | 0:14:00 | |
# The trees were ripe for cutting The timber was good | 0:14:00 | 0:14:03 | |
# To chop and stump and stub | 0:14:03 | 0:14:05 | |
# A man known as Jacob... | 0:14:05 | 0:14:09 | |
# Katzenellenbogan, a lumber tycoon | 0:14:09 | 0:14:12 | |
# Built a busy sawmill Beside a lagoon | 0:14:12 | 0:14:15 | |
# Soon wood chips filled the air And got in people's hair | 0:14:15 | 0:14:20 | |
# Axes gleamed, horses teamed | 0:14:20 | 0:14:23 | |

Hello? Where are you? | 0:14:42 | 0:14:45 | |
We've already started! | 0:14:45 | 0:14:47 | |
Oh, I see. Just get here as quick as you can! | 0:14:47 | 0:14:52 | |
Is she coming? The garbage truck broke down! | 0:14:52 | 0:14:56 | |
They're hitching. And the flying saucer? | 0:14:56 | 0:14:59 | |
Sit down. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:01 | |

But I wanted it to be called Elmwood! | 0:15:14 | 0:15:19 | |
Darned bureaucracy! | 0:15:19 | 0:15:22 | |
But not everyone was happy that Elwood had become a city. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:27 | |
When the forest was cut down, the beautiful grebe lost her home. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:33 | |
What's that? A grebe! What's a grebe? | 0:15:33 | 0:15:37 | |
That! | 0:15:37 | 0:15:40 | |
That's just Fern! Use your imagination! | 0:15:40 | 0:15:44 | |
I am using it! I'm imagining I have more candy! | 0:15:44 | 0:15:48 | |

-I think it's going really well. -Yeah... | 0:16:06 | 0:16:11 | |
Where's the flying saucer? Don't hold your breath! | 0:16:11 | 0:16:16 | |
It was smashed in Francine's garbage truck! | 0:16:16 | 0:16:20 | |
-Does Buster know? -Yeah, he's locked in the janitor's closet. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:24 | |
Buster! Open this door right now! You're being very unprofessional! | 0:16:26 | 0:16:31 | |
I don't care! I'm not a professional! | 0:16:31 | 0:16:35 | |
You're on! | 0:16:35 | 0:16:37 | |
Fern's scene is almost finished. What are we going to do? | 0:16:38 | 0:16:43 | |
I'll write the flying saucer out. Hand me those napkins! | 0:16:43 | 0:16:48 | |
What about Francine? The narrator's singing part is soon! | 0:16:48 | 0:16:51 | |
She's on her way! | 0:16:51 | 0:16:54 | |
Yes, sir! This baby's a one-of-a-kind classic! | 0:16:54 | 0:16:58 | |
She may not be a speed demon, but she gets great mileage. | 0:16:58 | 0:17:04 | |
QUACK! A duck! | 0:17:06 | 0:17:10 | |
Go on, sweetie! Take your time. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:12 | |

Over 100 years, Elwood City has grown bigger and bigger. | 0:17:30 | 0:17:35 | |
We've had visitors from all over the world. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:40 | |
Some say we may have even had visitors from outside this world! | 0:17:40 | 0:17:44 | |
The year is 1952.... | 0:17:44 | 0:17:47 | |
Dear me! Look how high the corn has grown this summer! Yes. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:54 | |
It's a bumper crop. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:56 | |
Bow-wow-wow-wow! | 0:17:56 | 0:17:58 | |
What is it? Gee whillikers! Is that a flying saucer in the sky? | 0:17:58 | 0:18:04 | |
No, Bobby, that is not a flying saucer. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:08 | |
It is probably just a natural phenomenon such as ball lightning, | 0:18:08 | 0:18:14 | |
a rare form of lightning in which... | 0:18:14 | 0:18:18 | |
a persistent and moving luminous sphere can travel... | 0:18:18 | 0:18:22 | |
It was going to be the best part of the show. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:26 | |
Now, no-one will ever... | 0:18:26 | 0:18:29 | |
'..Mis...perception...' Hey! they're going on without me! | 0:18:29 | 0:18:33 | |
It could be a weather balloon... | 0:18:38 | 0:18:42 | |
or another type of con...ventional aircraft... | 0:18:42 | 0:18:46 | |
Or... Or it's a real alien! | 0:18:46 | 0:18:50 | |
-LAUGHTER -Buster, what are you doing? | 0:18:50 | 0:18:54 | |
Buster? Who is this Buster you speak of? | 0:18:54 | 0:19:00 | |
I am Dr Ector - | 0:19:00 | 0:19:03 | |
behold my claw! | 0:19:03 | 0:19:05 | |
I come from the planet...Corn... | 0:19:05 | 0:19:09 | |
and I travelled millions of miles to deliver this important message, | 0:19:09 | 0:19:15 | |
which will be sung to the tune you Earthlings call Yankee Doodle. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:21 | |
# Dr Ector came to Earth In a flying saucer | 0:19:22 | 0:19:26 | |
# Had a message to deliver - be... | 0:19:26 | 0:19:29 | |
# Be a frequent flosser | 0:19:29 | 0:19:32 | |
# Floss you teeth every night Floss your teeth all day | 0:19:32 | 0:19:35 | |
# If you floss your teeth With all your might You won't have tooth decay... # | 0:19:35 | 0:19:39 | |
Oops! | 0:19:39 | 0:19:42 | |
There will now be a brief intermission. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:50 | |
Curtain! Curtain! | 0:19:50 | 0:19:53 | |
Buster, what were you thinking? Let go of my horn! | 0:19:54 | 0:19:58 | |
I had to do something. People were falling asleep! | 0:19:58 | 0:20:02 | |
You destroyed the set! | 0:20:02 | 0:20:05 | |
Don't we use this in the last number, Mr Ratburn? | 0:20:05 | 0:20:09 | |
Er..yes... We'll just have to improvise. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:13 | |
You're right, Brain! I did ruin everything. I'm such a failure. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:19 | |
If anyone wants me, I'll be in the closet. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:22 | |
Wait! It's my fault! That stuff about ball lightning was boring! | 0:20:22 | 0:20:29 | |
You two are lucky! I have to sing! | 0:20:29 | 0:20:32 | |
And the audience thought the show couldn't get any worse. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:36 | |
Can't we end it now? I've already damaged my producing career! | 0:20:36 | 0:20:42 | |
-End the show? Are you crazy? -Francine! -Sorry I'm late. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:46 | |
-The streets were full of ducks. -You only missed the worst 3rd-grade musical ever! | 0:20:46 | 0:20:53 | |
-Not what they think! -LAUGHTER | 0:20:53 | 0:20:56 | |
I thought I was going to die laughing! | 0:20:59 | 0:21:03 | |
I'm impressed. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:05 | |
It's got humour, facts, the poetic piece about the bird... | 0:21:05 | 0:21:10 | |
I liked the monster! Was he a grebe? | 0:21:10 | 0:21:15 | |
We've got a show to do! | 0:21:15 | 0:21:18 | |
